I’m a trainer and taught a little bit about the GROW model in my coaching skills for managers class. I really, really liked learning about it. To me, it’s the right and best way to coach others. It’s so simple, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to do. Our default is to offer solutions when someone comes to us with a problem or issue. We want to fix the problem. GROW is all about asking questions-the right questions-so that the person can solve the problem on their own. To turn the model inward will be difficult for me. I get caught up in my head a lot and can’t take a few steps back to see the bigger picture sometimes. I should make a worksheet or something for myself lol :)
